One week Fishing tour in Namibe province at Flamingo Lodge.
Flamingo Lodge is primarily a beach angling destination. Species most commonly targeted include Garrick, Kob, and Shad.
Flamingo is a great location to hone in your spinning skills, that later can be used elsewhere targeting the same, and many more, species. You will also learn to “read” the water from our experienced guides, who will assist you and share their knowledge wherever possible.
A typical day at Flamingo would start off with a hearty breakfast and a leisurely drive down a secluded beach, stopping at various spots during the course of the day to locate the fish – no time to get bored!
Flamingo has a strict catch-and-release policy. To ensure that fish are returned to the ocean in the best possible condition, the use of ultra-light tackle and treble hooks is not permitted. Their catch and release policy, along with the care they take in handling the fish whilst in and out of the water, helps to ensure that the fish are available to be caught more than once!
What to bring to Flamingo
Flamingo normally has a moderate temperature, but it is better to be well prepared. Hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses are a must for both winter and summer, as the sun is harsh. A set of long, warm clothes is recommended, even for summer months, as the weather can change quickly, and the evenings can sometimes get quite chilly. For the adventurous who would like to hike, sturdy hiking boots and a small backpack (for water and sunblock) are recommended.
Toiletries and medication are not provided by Flamingo. We suggest that you bring along a basic first aid kit, as well as any chronic or personal medication. Your first aid kit should include the following; painkillers, antihistamine pills, cream to relieve bites/stings, antiseptic cream/spray, plasters, Imodium, and for fishermen we highly suggest Cataflam and Methiolate. Please note that this is just a guideline and is not necessarily everything you will need. Please ensure that you pack enough medication for a few days longer than your intended stay.
If you are traveling to Flamingo with a young child, please note that we do not supply cots and baby car seats.
It is advised that a headlamp, and spare batteries, are brought along as the generator does not run throughout the night.
Other items that could be brought by visitors include cameras, binoculars, and electronic devices such as laptops and iPads.
